My first Rolling Stones album ever @oldtimer would be proud of me!

My B-system, in the den upstairs, is the Harman/Kardon 430 twin powered, playing vinyl with a vintage Onkyo turntable. Currently driving Onkyo speakers, but usually Klipsch RP160Ms. What I like about this combo is the 'electricity' that is in the air as soon as the needle hits the groove. This is so nostalgic... until the music starts playing, you hear the crackle and the static elektricity, but when the music starts, it all goes away and I enjoy the music. Love it!

About the video. 1. He incorrectly claims "there is no direct connection from power plant to your home." What he means is "no direct physical connection." But, there most certainly is a direct electrical connection. The coils in a transformer need not "touch" to create continuous flow of current. The current flow from power source to sink IS continuous. 2. In various words he implies that power is not "in the cable." But of course it IS in the cable because HT lines can exceed 150C in temperature. And, for any fixed distance and load, the lower the line voltage, the more power loss is suffered. Hence the reason long distance lines are at 400KV - 745KV - to minimize losses in the cable. Magnetism and current arise together the same way "heads and tails" appears on a coin. If this were not so, one could use ANY tiny gauge of wire to conduct any amount of current desired. We know that isn't true, right?

NO, no no I don't believe you Early 70s King Crimson ✔️ More Genesis than I'll ever have ✔️ Good, Raunchy 80s Aerosmith ✔️ plus all the quadrophonic LPs? ✔️ monos & K-Horns You're set my friend!

this what i need !

My friend and Klipsch fanatic, Roger Gordon, sent these Pro La Scala's to convert to home speakers. Sadly, he passed away before they were completed. I have finished them and will be sending them to his wife and daughter. I hope they feel a bit of his presence when listening to them and appreciate their beauty, as I know Roger would.

Nothing on the Wiki. She does sample here an there. I saw some forums where guys rant about it, I don't give it much credit though. Plagiarism is taken very seriously in Japanese industry.

what i cant belive is that i have 3 zep album 1,4,and presence

Shopping list for your next meal. https://www.amazon.com/Creamed-Possum-Gravy-Garnished-Potatoes/dp/B00UGM9LHK

i also have the quad

i bought it just to have it. supposedly its their best album. and it dosnt mean im going to play!

Weird fact…..when I knew I was to do some serious listening to speakers, I avoided loud noises. I didn’t listen to the radio to work. Kept the windows closed in my car and got up before I wife would bark out orders on what I needed to do. I wanted my ears fresh. Does anyone else do that? Or is it just a weird chief bonehead thing?

Wow oh wow Luther!! Stunning!

You know in honor of Deano becoming the net guy….I will now call him 75cent!!

Has anyone heard this stage set-up? Look at the size of them. They look super cool. Realhorn' Soundsystems. Nice bank of horn subwoofers as well.

For Golden Oldies, right?

Considering the 10+ inches of rain and 65 to 75 mph winds, we did pretty well at my house and did not lose power. Well the power company turned it off around 2 am and turned it back on around 8:30 am. Parts of the Central Florida have severe flooding and will take days/weeks to recover from that. Bill

Well not exactly since our point is that cable lifters are wealth transfer devices and not true audio improvement devices. If you like them and enjoy using them do so. Just don't expect many others to think they work.

The removable rear panels on earlier cornwalls and Crites cornscalas were a weak point in the design. These speakers tend to have a somewhat boxy sound and loud midbass notes can even make the cabinets resonate. It's one of those things you just have to live with, but once you hear it, you can't unhear it.

yep, the front ports make using gasket tape on the back panel an unnecessary exercise.

I never thought I had more Genesis than you Mike All up including a couple of 12” singles- but not counting the albums I have 2 of Its 21 albums Plus a lot of solo work from the respective members

thanks so much for this...I had never heard that version before... Bill

just nyrsery crime ,foxtrot ,s.e.b.t.I, lamb, t.o.t.t. , & w.&s !

Like this cat:

Well them too! Goats Head Soup & Some Girls maybe the other way around Skynyrd Second Helping or maybe Pronounced

Well it's not my fave. But I'm a diehard fan, have been since I was a teen. * Three lead guitars. Wielded with such precision!

Liking all the Skynyrd - Love you're spreading lately @dirtmudd complete with a first edition of their Street Survivors. Exile isn't shabby either!

I built an Elekit 8600S about 8 months ago. It is very good. You can read the professional reviews online. For phono, I have a Vincent Pho700 preamp

I still don’t have any Rolling Stones albums Nothing personal mind you

Watching The Last Alaskans on the tele, one old guy on the show said it takes a few days of silence before you can hear everything moving when first moving back home after living in the city a few months.

I've got one if you need one... I already sold the Winchester Model 90, though.

Has been sold.

Something for fans of Yoko Kanno:

Cable lifting was invented as a reason for grown men to go online and relieve their pent-up sarcasms. 😄

Just.....wow. Dean's building crossovers for Klipsch and now you are back on the forum. Another 20 year guy here still chugging along: Still have the Peach (which I use as a backup a couple months out of the year to keep it working well/operational which in itself is a testament to it's sound) and now with the four sets of 50+ year old Heritage now completely restored (also known as "how I spent my pandemic......") 🙂 I've also taken that "no processed/no fried" to heart here too, my wife and I have lost a collective 100 lbs and carry proper weight for our frames (myself personally for the first time in my life, the changes happening over the last five years). I'm also not too far off from the "one meal a day" thing - I find one good meal and a couple of snacks/items keep me plenty lean and more energetic. I still remember those discussions about how you used to feed your dog and how you thought people should be eating and I internalized a lot of the essence of that discussion. I have had a TON of surgery on my orthopedics and keeping good weight and condition with age is really important. It has massively improved/extended our quality of work and life. So you still have some "ruboff effect" here as I'm still benefiting from your builds and advices. It's hella good to see you in here, sorta feels like Reservoir Dogs 'round here lately, getting the gang back together to do more "crimes of the systems", LOL. ....and seems a bit fitting as the recent pandemic era served to allow to rejuvenate the two systems that I have had here all along. So no real Juicy Questions as I've not had issue and really like that piece for what it is, but it's sure good to see you back here.

Ouch? Apparently your personal preferences aren't the same as his. I think they look darn good. Great job!

There are several vids of this system playing at night, if interested in the light show.

^You're one of those people that understands electricity and magnetism and energy and all that stuff ain't ya? Don't bring that science stuff round here

Never got into newer slang But if anything I've listened to in the last week could be described as sick or sic wtf This IS IT :

Im a little curious,, but have concerns as Racer X had mentioned that these Floyd remixes are like some of the Zeppelin remixes, which I am not a fan of. https://store.acousticsounds.com/d/170069/Pink_Floyd-Animals-Multi-Format_Box_Sets Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk

Thank you so much. Ki

Yep and it looked like a giant EF-5 went through. Sucked clean with a few twisted, shredded toothpicks left. Awesome Power. And I did not overuse that awe word back in the 80s either! Ian is moving so slow. This is going to be heartbreaking to see all those places I traversed frequently over that decade being unrecognizable in a few days.

You're at fault here DJ, Tol u I'z gonna steel dat McCartney-Middle-Finger-Monday pik

The Cheif BUTThead is the kind of dude you call when you need a friend. He is mine and I call on him from time to time. I have learned more from Roy than most anyone else in audio. We started our friendship in a car listening to audio systems as judges. I talked a lot, he listened....a bit later he hired me to work in the lab. That was 23y ago. I miss working with him, but am glad he is no longer my boss. The butthead.

I don't like black speakers (piano like) but those look superb. Is this painting technique effect only or veener below paint?

Whelp, I couldn’t resist a pair of Eminence Delta Pro 12A’s on Ebay for $200, shipped, so it looks like @ClaudeJ1 ‘s Baby Cornwalls are on the table, proper. Will still put them back together with all the stock components, just to establish a baseline, then do the mods

:emotion-21: My 2 cents would be to tame the sidewalls from resonating. (I sometimes wonder if that is what people are hearing and attribute it to the midhorn??) Those are some big panels on the sides of the speaker. If you can brace them you will think that you've found another octave of bass when in fact what you are then hearing is already there....just masked by the noise of their vibration. Again on the LSI-BG models, things are different - you have fibreglass matting and gel which adds some stiffness and mass, but most importantly there is that angular aluminum edge that is glued and screwed. I think this adds quite a bit of strength to the mouth of that horn. Not so on the home models - just thump on it and hear that 2x2' panel vibrate.
